Soulmates is about as fluffy, sticky sweet, and happy a game as you can get.\r\n\r\nMy take on the theme: connect the worlds of two people who otherwise wouldn't have met. Essentially, you are cupid and you need to make sure two future love bird's eyes meet. It's a puzzle game inspired by Spry Fox's Road Not Taken, with very simple interactions with the environment to alter the course of the characters.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n- Click on objects in the environment to perform actions (knock over crates, open flowers).\r\n- Click the right arrow ( -->) in the upper left corner to advance the characters along their paths.\r\n\r\nFeatures:\r\n- 9 mind-bending levels! (okay they are pretty easy)\r\n- Toothache-inducing graphics and effects\r\n- Sound effects from my own mouth, including some rather flat vocals\r\n- More polish than gameplay\r\n- Attempts at inclusivity in character design (yay!)\r\n- Love and fun\r\n\r\nTools used:\r\n- Unity2D (4.6 Beta)\r\n- Inkscape\r\n- Audacity\r\n\r\nIf you enjoyed the game, give me (@Jiyambi) and my dev team (@BounderGames) a follow on Twitter to see more of our stuff!
